Forget the paint and the clear-coat nonsense...just hard anodize that mess! How sweet would that be?
I think this idea is a fail for car bodies, as I figure anodizing tends to be primarily used on aluminum of a certain thickness and large panels of it could end up being less flexible than desired. If you had any sort of wreck you would essentially end up having to replace the entire panel otherwise because you cannot do body repair and anodize over bondo or whatever.Forget the paint and the clear-coat nonsense...just hard anodize that mess!

but doesn't anodizing it make it less flexible?Land Rovers and Range Rovers have aluminum panels. The old Shelby Cobras did also, along with many newer vehicles.
The aluminum is more flexible when annealed properly.

I don't know, time to hit up wikepedia...
